Supreme Court of Louisiana
Mar 7, 1975
309 So. 2d 343 (La. 1975)

Opinion

No. 55962.

March 7, 1975.

In re: Kenneth Earl Watkins, applying for writ of Mandamus.


Writ denied. The ruling of the trial judge is correct. See Daniel v. Louisiana, 420 U.S. 31, 95 S.Ct. 704, 42 L.Ed.2d 790 (1975).

BARHAM, J. is of the opinion the motion to quash the jury indictment is good because that grand jury was discriminatorily empaneled without females. The trial is pending. Taylor v. Louisiana, 419 U.S. 522, 95 S.Ct. 692, 42 L.Ed.2d 690 (1975), applies to this case.
